Alstom signs 320 mln eur wind turbine deal in Brazil

PARIS, July 21 (Reuters) - Alstom said it signed a
contract worth 320 million euros ($433 million) to supply 127
wind turbines to Brazil's Renova Energia for the
Umburanas complex in Bahia State.

The wind turbines will be delivered between January 2017 and
January 2018, Alstom said in a statement on Monday. The
Umburanas wind complex will generate 355.5 megawatts, enough
energy for around 700,000 people, the company added.

"This new order is part of an agreement signed between both
companies in 2013, involving the supply of more than 440 wind
turbines, for a minimum installed capacity of 1.5 gigawatts,"
Alstom said. "The agreement also includes operation and
maintenance services, for over 1 billion euros."
